Local Area Guide

The Gardens ICE House Travel Guide

We built this guide so your team doesn't have to figure it all out from a Google search. Neighborhoods, restaurants, game day logistics, local tips — it's all here.

The Gardens Ice House is the premier skating facility in the Mid-Atlantic region, a massive 150,000-square-foot complex located within the expansive Fairland Regional Park. Home to the Maryland Black Bears (NAHL) and serving as a key practice hub for local travel clubs, this venue features three indoor NHL-sized rinks (Patrick, Logsdon, and Resor) and one seasonal outdoor rink known as "Whitey's Pond". The facility is built for volume, hosting everything from high-stakes tournaments to figure skating regionals, all anchored by a dedicated cafe and pro shop. Its location in a public park setting offers a refreshing change from the typical industrial park rink, with surrounding greenery and athletic fields creating a campus atmosphere. However, visitors must navigate the logistics of a venue that sits between two major cities (Baltimore and Washington D.C.) but isn't truly part of either. This guide is designed for the hockey families and tournament directors heading to Laurel. You will learn how to handle the traffic patterns on Old Gunpowder Road, where to find the best craft brewery for a post-game parent meeting, and how to utilize the adjacent park trails to burn off nervous energy before the puck drops.

Section 01

Neighborhood Overview

The facility is situated on Old Gunpowder Road in Laurel, nestled deep within Fairland Regional Park on the border of Prince George's and Montgomery counties. The "neighborhood" is primarily recreational, surrounded by heavy woods, hiking trails, and the Fairland Sports Complex which houses gymnastics and tennis centers. Access is via Interstate 95 (Exit 29) or Route 198, but the final stretch on Old Gunpowder Road is a two-lane drive that can feel surprisingly rural. The nearest major travel hub is Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), located about 20-25 minutes north, making it the most convenient option for flying teams. While the park setting is scenic, the area is strictly car-dependent; there are no hotels or restaurants within walking distance of the lobby doors. Parking is abundant in the sprawling paved lots shared with the park, and it is free, though finding a spot near the main entrance during a Black Bears game or multi-rink tournament can require patience. The vibe is safe and athletic, but once you leave the park gates, you are quickly back in the suburban bustle of the Washington-Baltimore corridor.

Section 02

Where to Stay

Accommodation strategy typically focuses on the Route 1 corridor in Laurel or the I-95 interchanges to the south. The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Laurel and Hampton Inn & Suites Laurel (Fort Meade Area) are popular choices, located about 10-15 minutes north; they offer reliable amenities and easy access to dining options. For teams looking for newer properties, the hotels in the Konterra/Calverton area to the south, such as the Sheraton College Park North or Holiday Inn Express & Suites, provide easy highway access and are often quieter. Staying at the Live! Casino & Hotel near Arundel Mills is an upscale option about 20 minutes north, offering entertainment and dining for parents, though it comes with a higher price tag. There is no "walking distance" hotel, so prioritizing highway access for the morning commute is key.

Section 04

Tournament Day Flow

Check-In & Warm-Up

Arrive at least 60 minutes before your ice slot. The complex has a main entrance that leads into a central lobby where you can find rink assignments on digital screens (Patrick, Logsdon, or Resor). If you are playing on the Patrick Rink (the main stadium rink), the locker rooms are located down the main hallway, while the other rinks branch off to the sides. Teams often warm up outside on the paved paths of Fairland Regional Park if the weather is nice, or in the spacious corners of the lobby if it's raining.

Mid-Day Regroup

Between games, the Ice Breakers Cafe located inside the facility is a step above typical concessions, offering a warm place to sit with a view of the Patrick Rink. It serves standard grill items and breakfast, acting as the social hub for parents. If you have a longer break of two hours or more, the drive to the Konterra Town Center or downtown Laurel offers more substantial dining options. The park grounds outside are extensive, providing picnic tables and playgrounds for siblings who need a break from the cold interior.

Wrap-Up & Departure

Exiting the facility can be slow during peak tournament hours as traffic funnels back onto the two-lane Old Gunpowder Road. If you are heading to a team dinner, the large restaurants along Route 1 (like BJ's Restaurant or LongHorn Steakhouse) are best equipped for groups. Ensure you have all gear, as the lost and found bin at the front desk fills up quickly. If it's a Friday or Saturday night, check the Black Bears schedule, as ticketed games can add to the congestion in the lobby and lot.
